Lace Cardi Body

I completed the body of the lace cardi this weekend. It was pretty fast to do - I just wasn't knitting on it every day. I haven't cast on the sleeves yet, I'll do them both at the same time, but once I do they should go pretty quickly too since they are 3/4 length. I'm thinking this cardi will be perfect for this time of year so I want to get it finished up so I can wear it. Oh, and if you're wondering what the little green markers are that are sticking out - they're there for button placement. Since you knit the front bands at the same time as the fronts, I just put one of those in the left front every row I made a buttonhole in the right front. Obviously, the whole thing will need blocking before seaming up, but I'll do the sleeves and the body all at once.

I love your cardi. I love your colors and I love the pattern. I am not well, so I cannot make a large project, but I do so appreciate other people's work. I think I asked you this before; ifwe leave our e-mail address, doesit have to be in the comment box.Then anyone else can e-mail also.Thank you for your time. I hopeyou can answer my question on yourblog. I read it all the time.
